Introduction
The Master of Science in Chemical and Biomedical Engineering centers around research that culminates with the defense of a thesis. The mission of the program is to prepare students who wish to either pursue doctoral work in chemical or biomedical engineering or to seek research-related careers in industry. The departmental faculty have active research projects in the areas of solar cells, environmental, paper physics and chemistry, tissue engineering, biomaterials, molecular simulation, biomechanics, biophotonics, enzyme treatment, separation and electrochemistry.
Research and Support Facilities
The department’s equipment includes a highly instrumented papermaking machine, stock preparation equipment, complete paper testing laboratories, pulping digesters, process control laboratory, biochemical engineering laboratory, catalysis research laboratory, environmental laboratory, chemical engineering laboratory, molecular simulation, biomechanics, biomedical optical imaging and sensing laboratory, electrochemical laboratory, solar cell research laboratory and tissue engineering/biomaterials laboratory. Students also have access to equipment at the university’s Electron Microscopy Facility and Nanotechnology Center.
Admission Requirements
You must have an undergraduate education in a science or engineering field, and must provide:
- Academic transcript of undergraduate performance,
- Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores (waived for combined BS/MS applicants),
- Three letters of recommendation,
- Written statement of purpose for seeking a master’s degree in chemical and biomedical engineering from Miami University, and
- Curriculum vitae (CV) or résumé.
Combined Bachelor/Master's Program
Undergraduate students may apply to participate in the combined bachelors/master’s program. This program allows you to pursue a master’s degree in an accelerated manner while completing your bachelor’s degree. It is a great opportunity to deepen your knowledge and research skills. Please contact the department for more information about the combined program.
